Jackie Robinson is an African American that was in the major leagues and he help stop segregation . He was the first African American to play baseball in the major league and I think that’s pretty brave. What I think that’s pretty cool is that we both played baseball. And I wish I was as good as he was. He was born in 1919and died in 1972because of his health. Jackie was not that rich growing up. He was the youngest one in his family.His middle name standed for president Theodore Roosevelt who died 25 days before Jackie was born.
